Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })You can't catch fish if you don't go fishing, and you can't make friends if you don't at least try. Relationship-challenged student Yuki happens to find himself on a fishing trip to a small island with three other boys he doesn't know particularly well. These include another boy, a grown man and Haru who claims he's an alien. Natsuki is constantly stewing and mysterious Akira are not prospects for good companions. Fishing, however, is a unique activity that offers quiet sense of companionship and hopeful expectation, and it might bring some personal connections to Yuki. In addition, Haru says they're going to have to save the entire planet.Can be watched at Crunchyroll or The Anime Network (subbed or dubbed) if you're in the available region. | |

Starfish Aliens | |
| Tsuritama / int_31c5e7fb | comment |
Starfish Aliens: Haru and Coco's alien species can communicate through water, but whenever they try it on a human it just ends up as Mind Control. A powerful enough alien can work via moisture in the air if it's particularly humid. When the Dragon's nearby not even wearing protective suits will protect you from his control. Only one of the crewmen seemed to not be affected by it. | |

Wham Episode | |
| Tsuritama / int_8e20979 | comment |
Wham Episode: Episode 6, boy howdy. An artificial reef suddenly disappears. A giant pink halo appears in the sky that looks like Haru's. It then smashes Haru's halo. Haru goes berserk and starts using his water gun. Akira starts shooting at him before their ship crashes and he goes unconscious. Everything soon goes back to normal...up until the episode ends with a bunch of fishermen doing the Enoshima dance for no reason with the creepiest smiles on their faces you ever did see. Episode 8: The true nature of the Big Bad is divulged (the "dragon" in the fairy tale—a renegade member of Haru and Coco's species), his possible plot is revealed (mind control the entire world via air humidity) and his fleet of mind-controlled fishing ships makes landfall at Enoshima. Akira is disowned by Duck and held at gunpoint by the rest of his unit; meanwhile, a Duck combat unit is en route to Enoshima. In Episode 9. Haru got hit with Break the Cutie. Hard. In Episode 10: As JFX takes control of a Duck battleship, without the use of water, the only unaffected officer bumps into a missile control switch. The missile launches and destroys the Hemmingway, with Ayumi inside. | |

Foreshadowing: A lot of Haru's behavior actually makes the fact that his species of alien are fish rather obvious, such as being afraid of cats, needing to stay wet, and shouting 'Ow' while Natsuki is talking about hooking a fish. There's also a blink and you'll miss it shot of the fishbowl he carries around being empty, right before Coco is introduced. | |
